Or: How to set up a completely private, independent and encrypted communication system in half an hour, using stuff you can buy for under $100. In this post, we will explore how two people, Alice and ...
Well, maybe not anything, but let's see if we can get close. RNode is now a multiplatform firmware! That means it is possible to make and deploy RNodes for use with Reticulum (or any other software us...
This article will outline the general process, and provide the information you need, for building your own RNode from a few basic modules. The RNode will be functionally identical to a commercially pu...
If you have a T-Beam or LoRa32 device handy, it is very easy to get it set up for all the things that the RNode firmware allows you to do. With it installed, you can use your newly created RNode as: A...
It can be pretty useful to know how LoRa parameters influence data rate and range, for example when configuring your RNode. In this post I'll go over the basic concepts needed to understand the differ...
If you want to use an RNode with amateur radio applications, like APRS or a packet radio BBS, you will need to put the device into TNC Mode. In this mode, an RNode will behave exactly like a KISS-comp...
In the last post, we looked at creating a 15.75 kilometre SSH link with two RNodes acting as wireless network cards. Today, we're going to be a bit more passive. Using just a single RNode, we'll put t...
IP over LoRa? Absolutely! While LoRa was not as such designed as an underlying physical layer for IP-based communications, it’s still possible to do exactly that....
In the last post, I looked at running APRS over LoRa using two RNodes. APRS is a relatively simple application, where data is mostly flowing from mobile stations, beaconing their position to fixed sta...
